If I am the officer-in-charge, I would just discharge the person. You have not idea, how much extra work these weirdo creates. How much report and email need to be answer for these kind of nonsense.
Seem like those pple go to jail still nvr learnt their lesson.
Their parents must be heartpain.
Originally posted by Lokey:I dont think so. Offenders who are send to RTC and Prison, dont get enlisted at all. Because they are probation for 1 to 2 years and they are sent to care center after their terms.
If they do get call back by the SAF, then they are the better ones. But rarely, they are enlisted.
I am absolutely clear about this because my friend's after-care officer has directly instructed him to look for a job and continued his career and life. The ACO is the one who decide their final release, and they usually dont recommend his boys for NS. Anyway, if the boy dont want to do NS, he just need to nag to the ACO. LOL. hahaha.
well maybe you wa to check our those gidi man in Chua Choo Kang Civil Defend
im sure most of them will tell you how long they serve the jail term when they are younger

That friend of mine is back in RTC, by the time he is out, he is already 22 years old. Usually these people are overage for enlistment.
Anyway, who cares about these people whether they need to serve NS or not.
You don't know how to read my post ah.
I say he went to JAIL not what boys home or boys hostel so it means he have a criminal record but he still serve ns

How can he go to jail (prison) before enlistment? People are enlisted at 18 years old. RTC is from 14 to 21 years old. Do you mean RTC instead?
As far as I know, SAF enlistment age is from 18 to 22 years old. One can volunteer to go for early enlistment. If one is over age, he is not enlisted at all.

This is what I use to think also.
But recent years (only these few years), due to a change in the prison system. The jailbirds are put on probation or after-care after their terms. Meaning they are not officially released. So they become overage when released from RTC/prison for NS hence they are not enlisted at all. It is something like that. These people are tagged and have to be back home by 8 pm everyday. ACO can extend this probation for misbehavior, so they cannot be enlisted for up to 1 year. If they go to after-care homes, they also have to return home by a certain time.
Anyway, I dont bother because some1 has explained this to me and I wasnt listening.
i dont know about recent activies
when i was in NS 1998

Hello, that is irrelevant. sia. So, I am right. Last year, 2009, I had a scenario. I called up Singapore After Care Association to look for assistance on job finding for my friend who was also liable for NS enlistment. The ACO replied impolitely to ask him to look for a job directly and forget about the enlistment. Perhaps, it depends on scenarios or case-by-case. That friend of mine is jailed for assaulted robbery over $20k of handphone items. He attacked several persons and rob their belongings.
ok lah kudos to him loh.
